Deeper Than the Surface

They locked me in a glass cage Stare at me with their clipboards Look at me like I am a freak show Observe me like an animal Treat me like a time bomb And cower away as if I am a monster I want this fate no longer They look at the blood stains on my hands rather than the tear stains on my face Look at the bruises on my arms Rather than the lacerations someone else inflicted on my heart Shake your heads as if I am crazy Instead of stopping to consider what I believe The things they cant see because they don't want to see Read about me wishing for death And skip over the passages that speak of the sickness and the constant drilling in my head I am bleeding from the inside out Being cut down by the things I am forced to live without And the fact that no one cares what I am screaming about All of these people have buried me alive I am choking...no suffocating on their lies All I do is try I am the only one who bothers to provide They refuse to listen to my cries Now I am finally dying on the outside
